Software Settings

Telegram

I think the repo version of Telegram is fine?
If the automatic update system doesn't work, I'll write a tiny script to download the website version.

Anyways, here are the settings I use in Telegram:

• Theme is t.me/addtheme/hezkore
• Interface scale 125% on 1080p monitors, 145% on 1440p monitors
• Right click "Archived chats" in the contact list and "Move to main menu"
• Resize Telegram to its minimum size, then drag drag down until 8 contacts are visible
• Settings > Chat Settings
  • Font family > "System font"
  • Disable "Replace emojis automatically"
• Settings > Notifications and Sounds
  • Disable "Desktop notifications"
  • Disable "Draw attention to the window" (really?)
  • Disable "Allow sounds"
  • Scroll down and disable "Include muted chats in unread count"
• Settings > Advanced
  • "Automatic media download" > "In private chats", "In groups" and "In channels", disable "Autoplay > Videos"
  • Enable "Show tray icon"
  • Enable "Launch Telegram when system starts"
  • Enable "Launch minimized"
  • Enable "Hardware accelerate video decoding"
  • Manage dictionaries > Enable "Swedish" (and English if it's not enable)
    (wait for the download to finish!)
  • Experimental settings > Enable "Show tabbed panel by click"
  • If desktop theme = "Dracula" & desktop not = "GNOME", Enable "Use system window frame"
